The price was reduced from 7th August 1852 : 'In consequence of the great trouble and expense in collection outstanding debts, and in order to furnish ourselves with funds against emergencies we from this date have reduced our prices for the GOULBURN HERALD as follows:- If paid in advance 6s 6d per quarter, single numbers 6d, credit price as usual 8s 6d per quarter.' This discounted quarterly subscription offer was withdrawn on 28 May 1853 when the price reverted to 7s 6d per quarter if paid in advance.
